Tethered || Peter Pan OUAT

Chapter 34: Overreact

|| A L I V I A ||

Alivia stood side by side of Peter as they approached where the White Queen lived. She could feel the tension rise in her fingers causing her hand to shake with jitters. Grabbing ahold of her the fabric on her legs, Alivia steadied them before Peter could notice. "I think I should do the talking," Alivia said glancing up at Peter. With a nod of the head the duo headed up towards the the palace.

Walking in Alivia felt her bones stiffen and her face going into a still neutral expression. Walking into the main haul familiar faces popped into her line of vision. They all sat around the queen talking about important matters. The first person she made eye contact with was Jefferson.

When he saw her standing in the opening of the door, his bored expression changed into another. Standing slowly in awe he stopped himself from running towards her. "Alice." He spoke grabbing the attention of the others.

Swallowing hard she moved quietly forward. "Why would you look at what we have here," the queen said standing upon her feet. "So our little plan did work." She said looking over at Jefferson. Pleasure was written on her lips as she watched Alivia walk in.

Ignoring the comment she squared her shoulders readying herself to speak. "Funny you mention that, that's exactly why I am here." Alivia said keeping her eyes locked on the queen. "To accept your destiny?" "To deny your request." Alivia said firmly.

Taken back the queen fumbled on her words, "W-why's that?" "Some for obvious reasons-" she paused glancing at Jefferson "-and others because you left me to die in the red queen's hands." Alivia pointed out.

"Aren't you reacting just a bit there? I mean she said that she didn't do anything too horrible." The queen said in slight confusion. "And that's where you're wrong, she did un-speakable things to me."

"Are you sure there A? I mean you are one to overreact to things like that." Jefferson said forcing himself into the conversation. Closing her eyes for a brief second she turned her head towards Jefferson. This little shit Alivia thought to herself.

"Overreact?" Alivia whispered the word to herself. Gliding over to the man she once trusted she pulled up the sleeve to her shirt. There laid the old yet still vibrant wounds. "Is this overreacting to you?" She whispered in disbelief.

"Do you want to know what the rest of me looks like judging from this one arm?" She asked. "A-" "No." she said firmly pushing down the sleeve. "You can't even imagine how bad they were and still are." "From the looks of them they weren't that bad." Opening her mouth she was speechless.

"And that's where you are wrong." She heard Peter's voice fill the room as he walked towards her. "Alivia was in horrible condition from when she first arrived in Neveland, those wounds are from years of healing." Peter said right beside of her

"So even your magic can't even heal her." Makenna spoke up walking face-to-face with Peter. Judging from how Makenna was holding herself in front of Peter, Alivia didn't like her being so close to him.

Sliding so that she was in front of Peter she glared harshly at the girl. "Take a step back." She said. With a smug look on her face, Makenna took a couple steps back next to Jefferson who was intensely watching the situation.

"Unlike you cowards I came here to tell you that I am no longer going to endure more pain and unhappiness for people that do not care for me." She said taking a step back. "And now we are going to leave." She said turning towards Peter who turned with her.

Walking towards the exit a voice halted them. "I don't think so." The queen said, casting a pointed look to Makenna the girl threw her hand towards Peter. Falling to his knees she watched as Peter's face contort with pain.

Without a second thought Alivia turned swiftly towards Makenna she threw her arm out. Out threw a steady knife right into Makenna's left shoulder. The screams of Peter's sorrow ceased at once and she turned swiftly grabbing him.

Guiding him out of the room she set him down carefully to the ground. Pulling out Jefferson's old hat with fumbling hands she laid it on the ground and picked Peter up again.

"You can't change who are you Alice." She heard the queen shout. "You'll always be the girl that in the end, nobody cares for." And with those words clouding her mind, Alivia jumped through and they disappeared into the old top hat.
